In recent days Microsoft has released an update that will leave thousands of users without webcams. This software update makes Windows 10 more secure but also makes Windows XNUMX certain formats are no longer used on webcams, leaving them practically useless or non-functional if they only work with those formats.
The positive of the fact would be that they were rarely used formats, but they are really very popular formats, these are, the H.264 and MJPEG format, which makes hundreds of thousands of webcams are rendered useless.The problem with this update has been detected by a website that has nothing to do with Microsoft and the situation seems to only affect webcams that have nothing to do with Microsoft, that is, webcams from other brands such as Logitech or Sony, but curiously they are the brands that sell more devices of this type and have users.
We will not see the solution to this webcam problem until September
Microsoft recognizes the error but says that the problem will not be solved until next month, although it warns that Windows 10 is the operating system with the highest user satisfaction index. Something that could change over the next few days if you really the company waits until September to solve the problem.

Currently, webcams have become one of the most important or used accessories in the computing world, being included in devices such as laptops, all-in-one computers or tablets. That is why this problem is so important and dangerous.
As possible solutions to the problem exist the possibility of restoring our Windows 10 to a restore point before the update and then refuse to update or manipulate the Windows registry to correct the problem. This last solution is not recommended due to the risk that it entails and due to the fact that if it were so easy, the Microsoft team would have released another update to correct the error Do not you think?
Still, it seems that the new Windows 10 update does not quite convince many Or maybe yes? What do you think?
I don't know how many thousands of people these things will happen to, but of course, why don't they ever happen to me? In short, articles without foundation ...
